Wrong description in the Compatibility section on the main page
Describe the bug
The VMware Product Interoperability Matrix provides details about the compatibility of different versions of VMware Tools (includes open-vm-tools) and other VMware Products.
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools
Currently, vmware product interop matrix(https://interopmatrix.vmware.com/Interoperability) does not provide details about open-vm-tools. Per KB 2073803, plz remove the original whole sentence, and add below to make the compatibility more intuitive.
No compatibility matrix check is required for open-vm-tools. Adhering to the VMware Compatibility Matrix for the guest OS release is sufficient. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2073803

Hi, I think I get the issue, let me know if that is the case or not.
The wording on the main page, while correct lends to confusion. As is: """ The VMware Product Interoperability Matrix provides details about the compatibility of different versions of VMware Tools (includes open-vm-tools) and other VMware Products. """
This part: "version of VMware Tools (includes open-vm-tools) and", is intended to convey that the compatibility matrix of "VMware Tools" applies to (includes) "open-vm-tools".
By looking up VMware Tools release versions in the compatibility matrix, you are getting results for matching open-vm-tools release versions.
Ex.: To check the compatibility of VMware Tools 12.2.5 with another product or feature:
- Select "VMware Tools" as the solution,
- Enter or select 12.2.5 in the versions drop down.
- under the "with" configure the target product or feature to check compatibility with, -OR- leave blank for a complete list of products and features to be generated.
A different wording should resolve this first part.
